Having traditions for special times in our lives is really important to me. We have tried a few that have been bigger hits than others. Some have also been kind of a nightmare (like our first drive around to look at lights experience.) I am happy to say that this year our looking at lights tradition was a success! We finally found a neighborhood that has a lot of lights. :) I believe that (and not doing the hot cocoa) was a big part of the success.
We also enjoyed caroling and delivering goodies to a few widows at our church. It truly is more blessed to give than receive. On our way out of the last home we visited, Rita told us how much she appreciated it. Justin immediately responded with (in his high tenor voice), "we'll be back next year!" The boys really enjoyed doing this activity.
And finally, our scheduled night of watching "Its a Wonderful Life" on the hide-a-bed was fun. However next year we might need to ditch the hide-a-bed part because we do not fit anymore. Maybe we will bring in the sleeping bags. :)

How wonderful! I love Justin's attitude towards volunteering the family for singing next year. Maybe a future leadership man?
The driver's side seat look tiny. Is that in the van?
Yup, that is in our van. It is actually pretty comfy and spacious, but BJ can't put his seat all the way back because of the twin's carseat. :)
